According to Geospatial Expert from the Department of Geodesy, Faculty of Engineering, UGM, I Made Andi Arsana, said that the coast in the north of Tangerang is an archipelagic water so that its sovereignty cannot be owned by individuals or companies. This is based on international regulations or UNCLOS (United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea).
